Details

OpenAI is merging the Chat and Work tabs in the ChatGPT desktop app to streamline the workflow from idea exploration to task execution.
The change unifies token usage, meaning ChatGPT and Codex will draw from the same allowance pool, potentially causing more frequent resets for some users based on usage and model.
The feature is initially available to select users for feedback before a wider rollout.
Codex remains a separate experience within the ChatGPT desktop app.
The merged interface allows users to bring in files and plugins to build websites, create presentations, or perform web tasks while reviewing the AI's work.
